Greg is brilliant at pointing out what is right and wrong with chess. He has the unique ability to look at a situation from both the point of view as an "insider" and "outsider". He is like a comedian who points something out that you never thought of, and think "yeah that is dumb! Why didn't I think of that!" This blog post got a ton of comments, and is brilliant, and straight to the point, and makes you think. Loved it!--Tim Brennan

I’m not sure what I liked more; the article itself or all the comments in response. He made compelling arguments for shortening time controls. Everyone has an opinion on the topic. I happen to agree with Greg on his argument and would love to see g/90 +30i tried in some event in the US. I’ve played in the Grand Pacific Open in Victoria, BC. They use that time control in that event. Very civilized pace!-Polly Wright

Truly interesting insights on the flaws in U.S. Swiss Opens. Candid discussion and suggested improvements on something that most chess players have considered at one time on the other.-Daaim Shabazz
